I am not sure how you would pull that off.

I can skin an animal. I can do emergency surgery for arrow wounds. I have occasionally reassured myself that if my father ever stops me from leaving the city I could cut off my hair and weave it into an invisibility cloak. I bet I can do hideous. 

Your hair would make an invisibility cloak?

If I wanted it to, yeah. 

...I think I need a more comprehensive lesson on how magic from your world works.

That's a half-Maia thing. I have way more control than an Elf over my physical form. If I wanted to have invisible hair I could have invisible hair. And if I wanted to then weave it into an invisibility cloak then I'd have an invisibility cloak.

...I don't see how wearing a thing that is itself invisible would cause you to be invisible.

...magic? The way invisibility works? It's not, like, transparency.

It's not?

No. What would be the point of invisibility cloaks at all, then?

Well, we don't have invisibility cloaks, but when they're imagined in fiction they typically have to have something else going on than being made out of something invisible.

I can make it for you. I've just been saving it for an emergency because it'd, you know, involve cutting all my hair off.

I don't need an invisibility cloak, if I need to get past somebody without being seen I stop time. Although if for some reason you ever want an invisibility cloak I could just grow your hair back afterwards by magic.

I thought we were trying to avoid giving off desperately inappropriate signals?

...sorry, I get that hair is a thing but I don't get how it's a thing so I don't know what signals to avoid.

Growing someone's hair back with magic is pretty amazing, but it's not the sort of power you could tell your parents about.

Okay. Well, I don't anticipate a need for an invisibility cloak in the first place, so it shouldn't come up.

Yeah, seems like your magic covers it. How long can you stop time? Could you walk all the way to Angband, shoot the Enemy a lot, and be three hundred miles away when you restarted?

Only if I can recharge while time is stopped off the recording, which there is no reason in principle I shouldn't be able to do but would need to check.

Okay. Or if you can learn magic songs.

I suppose that isn't impossible but no one here has discovered songs to be magic, and since they work when you sing them, the most obvious explanation is that humans just can't.

Probably. Elves can, but there might be some kind of difference.

Yeah. Anyway, I'm sure eventually I will have heard the song enough times to learn it, although I can't do it by ear the first time like you can.

And it might work while time is stopped anyway.

Yeah. Although if I could sing it to myself and that worked it'd be potentially important if I was so low on magic I couldn't even transform and pull out the recording.
